A state prison inmate who wanted to build a fire in the prison to practice an ancient polytheistic Nordic religion was turned down by an appeals court Tuesday.
The court ruled that state prison officials did not violate Tony Lee Smith’s religious rights by refusing to allow him special worship space to practice Odinism. The prison had feared a backlash because the religion is said to incorporate white supremacist beliefs.

I'd say it was a good call by the court on this one.
Inmates don't and can't get eveything they might want.
